Album: Lingua Mortis (1996)

In A Nameless Time


[1. THE MYSTERIUM]
AWAKENING THIS CURSE WAS THE LEAST OF ALL MY FEARS
IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME TO FREE ME FROM THIS CRIME
IT STARTED BACK IN TIME WHEN SOMETHING STOLE MY MIND
AND LED ME THROUGH AEONS TO PLACE AND TIME UNKNOWN

I LIVED THEIR LIFE, LOST IN THEIR TIME, WITHOUT MY FACE

TAKE ME BACK HOME FROM THESE CRYPTIC WALLS
I WAIT FOR A SIGN FROM MY OWN REALITY, I WAIT HERE
IN A NAMELESS TIME

A CERTAIN TIME PASSED BY, I RETURNED TO MY LIFE
WITH MEMORIES HARD TO FIND, A SECRET IN MY MIND

I FOUND IT OUR, I'VE LEARNED ABOUT THE PLACE I'VE BEEN

TAKE ME AWAY TO THESE CRYPTIC WALLS
I WAIT FOR A SIGN FROM THIS OLD REALITY, IT CALLS ME
FROM A NAMELESS TIME
TAKE ME BACK TO THESE CRYPTIC WALLS
TO THIS DESERT PLACE AND THIS STRANGE REALITY, IT CALLS ME
FROM A NAMELESS TIME

[2. THE EXPEDITION]
I BROKE UP TO FIND THIS PLACE, FIND THOSE FROM THE ELDER RACEIN THIS UNKNOWN DESERT LAND I WAS DIGGING IN THE SAND
FOUND THESE RUINS, BLOCKS OF STONE OLDER THAN THE EGYPT ONES
CLIMBED IN CAVES, UNSPEAKABLE, FAR DOWN IN THE PLANETS DEPTHS

THERE WERE THESE ENCHANTED BOOKS, PAGES THAT I'VE KNOWN TOO WELL
WRITTEN BY THE ALIENS 'BOUT THE WAY THEIR STUDY'S BEEN
THEY TRANSFORMED THROUGH SPACE AND TIME IN ALL KINDS OF LIVING MINDS
LEARNING THIS WAY EVERYTHING HOW THROUGH TIMES THE CULTURE'S BEEN

AND I IMAGINED HOW IT'S BEEN LIKE TRAVELING THROUGH A NAMELESS
TIME. AND I REMEMBERED HOW I FELT WHEN I WAS
IN A NAMELESS TIME, IN A NAMELESS TIME...

TAKE ME HOME FROM THESE CRYPTIC VAULTS
I WAIT FOR A SIGN FROM MY OWN REALITY, I WAIT HERE
IN A NAMELESS TIME

[3. FINDING OUT]
ALTHOUGH THE MOST I KNEW I NEEDED A FINAL PROOF
IF I'D BEEN ONE OF THEM. AND THEN THESE PAGES CAME:

MY WRITTEN WORDS! SO I'D BEEN HERE IN ONE OF THEM...

TAKE ME BACK HOME FROM THESE CRYPTIC VAULTS
'CAUSE I'VE BEEN ALIVE IN THIS STRANGE REALITY
RELEASE ME FROM THIS NAMELESS TIME
TAKE ME HOME FROM THESE CRYPTIC VAULTS
I'M CURSED FOR ALL TIME IN THIS STRANGE REALITY
RELEASE ME FROM THIS NAMELESS TIME...
